Did anyone here realize that a new Civilization Revolution game had been released? Or that it was even in development? I'm a fairly hardcore strategy game fan, and I heard absolutely nothing about this game until it showed up on Appshopper. None of my friends knew it was in development either. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing....

The new game adds new units, technology, buildings and wonders, as well as beefed-up graphics compared to its predecessor. For veterans, the inclusion of jet fighters, lasers and even Silicon Valley will spice up an already-engrossing game.

Civilization Revolution 2 also notably shuns the dominant free-to-play business model in mobile gaming. It costs £10.49 to download from the App Store, with no in-app purchases.

Developer 2K China is also promising to release additional map sections and civilization leaders through the App Store. Players will have the option to purchase these characters and areas and add them to their game, although doing so is purely cosmetic.

Interface seems really clean and intuitive. I'm trying my first game on an iPhone 4S and so far everything's easy to see. Getting a few framerate hiccups during fast scrolling and at the start of combat animations.

Attacking my first barbarian camp, I couldn't see what the defending unit was until I attacked, unless I had the Scout ability. Is that a new game mechanic? I can't remember.

Oh and this seems neat. At about turn 5 my domestic advisor presented me with a choice of 4 goals from my citizens, oriented toward combat, commerce, research, and something else. I chose 'kill 2 barbarians', so let's see what that amounts to. (amounted to a free upgrade to one of my combat units)

Ok, that's all you get for now. Framerate issues are getting a bit too annoying, so I'll have to wait until I can play on my iPad. I don't recommend the game if you'll be playing on a 4S or weaker.

Is there any way to cancel a unit's movement? I accidentally tapped a spot way across the map, and now my unit just keeps automatically moving there no matter what I do. Can't figure out how to cancel it.

The game looks great, but my iPad feels like it's going to melt after about 10 minutes. I've never felt it get this hot before.

I had trouble cancelling a unit's movement, too. I think maybe you need to re-select the unit by pressing the unit icon in the bottom right (end turn slider) repeatedly? I'll have to try later.

And yeah, holy jebus does it heat up an iPad.

Has there been any changes to the map sizes? My main quibble with Civ Rev was that even the largest maps were too small; it was impossible to avoid the other civilizations even early on in the game.

Hmm, unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust map size when you create a game. I haven't mapped the entire planet in a game yet, so I can't comment on how big the standard map is.

I think I was able to press and hold on a unit to erase its previous orders and give it new ones.
